Physical activity and spending time outdoors keep us healthy ...

Well, I read or heard somewhere that people lives longer when they moves a lot. I guess that's the easy explanation why older generation lived longer because they constantly had to do things in their homes and works that they were so healthy and lived longer.

Hi Kiran! I agree with you that physical activity is imperative and if we do not go for a walk or do not go for daily light exercise, we will be in trouble. Our life style has become sedentary and we have become accustomed to comforts of AC etc. and do not feel like moving without a vehicle, however, we forget that not going for physical activity could prove costly for us. I try to do daily exercise and walking because mine is desk job, which does not allow much moment to me.

I used to go for long walks Kiran because I did feel good and a doctor said that women should walk a lot during and after menopause. Unfortunately I have a severe skin problem on myfeet and my walks virtually have stopped for the past 2 years. Recently, I am using another oil for my feet and have decided to resume walks. Let me hope to be consistent because after 3 days today my feet are itching and are horrible. I fully agree with you that physical exercise keeps the blood flowing and makes us energtic and fresh.

For proper blood circulation - our life line - one needs exercise and outdoor activity. Activities like gardening, walks, outdoor sports, swimming could contribute to this to a large extent. And those who cannot they could go for physiotherapy and yoga.

i agree that spending time outside helps to keep people healthy i really do wish that i had more time to spend outdoors i love to go on streneous hiking trails and going on long walks when i exercise outdoors i tend to feel less stressful and have a more positive attitude i like the clean fresh air scent but when it turns cold outside it is hard for me to force myself to go outside and do physical activities because i do not like the cold weather

Of course physical activity keeps us healthy and fit enough. Our outdoor activitied should be done nature admired area. If we are doing the physical activities in the polluted areas, there is no use at all. our health will be spoiled in the polluted areas.

Yes,Regular exercises does benefit a lot, it may be nature walk, jogging, running anything. I have noticed it helps me de stress too. I enjoy long walks but at times I don't get time as my kids are small and O often get tired after the house work. But whenever I can , I take out time and go for walks. I love walking to a near by park which has a duck pond and watch the ducks dive, its the best therapy there is.

true, physical activity will make us healthy but its a case to case basis so better consult your doctor first. People who are suffering from other pulmonary diseases are not even allowed to do any household chores. So, we should also know how much physical activity can we do. I love to walk, run, jump but not the exercise people say. I mean I can walk as far as I can. I run slowly but longer. I can jump rope for quiet a number. But now I can't do all the same because I have an asthma. Sometimes, when I exert a lot of physical activities which I used to do, I can't breath and had to stoop forward and catch some air. That was troubling me so I consulted my physician. I was advised to rest and slow down. Walking 30 minutes a day but not one time is good. I walk around when its cool. The weather should be cool and not too windy so I won't catch any allergens or else, I'll just do it at home. hehehe. Life is good so I take care of myself. You should too!

Yes kiran I agree regular exercise keeps body fit. Especially for aged persons it is a tonic.As for myself after rising from the bed I feel pain in my hole body. I regularly do some light exercise. After exercising I feel much better. I feel fresh and no pain. So everyone should do some exercise every day to make free from diseases.

I am one of those people who wake up late in the morning. But yesterday only I got up early morning and went on for walk followed by some exercise. It was such a beautiful experience since the breeze was so much pleasant and there was so much peace and calmness all around. Moreover I didn't feel dizzy throughout the day which I usually felt most of the days. Now I am planning to follow this routine for all coming days too.

I know what you mean. All winter long, my children constantly get sick. Then the warmer weather comes, and they spend a lot of time outside. Because of the time they spend outside, their immune systems strengthen and they rarely get sick. I have also found that I myself feel a lot more energetic during the warmer months, the more time I spend outside, the better I feel.

For me yes plus you drink herbal medicine you get all healthy in and out.

Kiranji I agree with you , it is kind of overhauling for our body, which is a complicated machine, i can't play out door games, but i love to walk in the roof top and hall, till i get tired , hope you are fine busy with your gardening.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

yes they do keep us healty even a small bit of meditation say for every 5-10 mins every morning can be of great help

regular exercise is essential for our health regardless of age, there are lots of ways we could do our own exercise, we just need to find out whats fits with our lifestyle or health condition.

Hello Kiran. Regular exercise is a need of every one is present time. In present time our life style not have any physical work.If some one have health problem than by it he can cure and a healthy person keep fit and active with regular exercise. I have problem of parapaligia the treatment is exercise. I know but I cannot spare time for. My priorty is to look after my family. In coming days when I feel free than I will start exercise.

Yes it does, but I really don't like going outdoors and I have not been doing my exercises. I guess that I am getting lazy, but it is good so that someone can stay in good shape and so that they won't have to visit the doctor and can save a lot of money that way.

Yes, i agree. Physical activities especially those requires us to be under the sun, are good for us. Other than sweating it out, improving blood circulation, we are absorbing vitamin D from the sun as well. That's one reason i don't mind myself getting a little tanned because it adds on the glow for my skin. On top of that, exercising outdoors is a great way of treating cold and flu, though it's not recommended by doctors.

Gentle exercise is good for almost everyone - but if you have a chronic illness like asthma, you do have to be careful and start slowly. It's true, it doesn't have to be Olympic training. Just a bit of gardening and hanging the washing on the line will help. The fitter you are, the better your body can cope with its other problems.
